Please do not update extensions automatically.

[HT-7]

TLDR:
Updates can and frequently do break things. Therefore, extensions should never update without user consent.

The "click&clean" extension spontaneously stopped working one day. Only a useless blank page appears when I open it from the side menu.

Then I looked into its page source code at view-source:chrome-extension://ghgabhipcejejjmhhchfonmamedcbeod/emenu712.html:

The first line:

Clean for Google Chrome - HOTCLEANER.COM - Copyright (c) 2023 Mixesoft.

2023?! I installed it in 2022! So Kiwi must have updated this extension, and that update caused it to break.

Please do never update extensions without the consent of the user. Thank you.

Now I will have to hunt for a somewhat useful alternative and beg that it works.

This is reminiscent of the May 2019 Firefox disaster.
